ENG/EXAM-17(26)/2000 Date : 21st Sep. 2001
In accordance with the measures
taken by the Directorate to keep a national data-base for Indian
Seafarers, an INDos number is being issued by LBS-CAMSAR. At present,
there are two ways of obtaining an INDos Number :-
(1) When the candidate directly
applies to the LBS-CAMSAR or its approved institutes for remote
processing, and obtains the INDos number.
(2) The candidate makes an application
for a new (STCW 95) certificate and the Directorate obtains an
INDos number for the candidate, which is assigned to his certificate.
The candidate eventually applies as in (1) above, since it is
mandatory for all candidates to apply to LBS-CAMSAR in the appropriate
format in accordance with M. S. Notice No. 2 of 2001.
There have been some conflicts
in the issue and assignment of INDos numbers and as in many cases
two different numbers have been assigned to the same candidate.
In order to alleviate the difficulties faced by the candidates
for the INDos numbers, the following measures have been adopted:-
(1) INDos numbers stated in
the Certificate of Competency (STCW 95) issued would be the final
INDos number for the candidate.
(2) If the INDos number on the
certificate is in conflict with the INDos number issued to the
candidate on his personal application to LBS-CAMSAR, then the
onus would be on the candidate to rectify the INDos number which
has been issued to him on his personal application.
(3) For all practical purposes,
the INDos number assigned to the Certificate of Competency would
remain as the INDos number for the candidate, and all correspondence
with reference to the certificate, must be made by quoting that
assigned INDos number.
In the event of a discrepancy
in the INDos number on the Certificate of Competency and the one
allotted by LBS-CAMSAR the candidate must bring it to the notice
of LBS-CAMSAR for eventual rectification or else, verification
of his other certificates will be affected.
This circular may be brought
to the notice of all concerned, so that no doubts remain regarding
the status of the correct INDos number.
